GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY



Grilled Lamb Chops With Rosemary image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 loin lamb chops, each about 1 -inch thick
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, very finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sprigs of fresh rosemary for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops. Place them in a single layer in a dish.
  • Mix the vinegar, oil, anchovy paste, rosemary and garlic together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread this mixture over the lamb chops, turning them over in the dish, then turning them back again so both sides become lightly coated with marinade. Cover and allow to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot.
  • Grill or broil the lamb chops as close as possible to the source of heat so they become seared and brown on the outside but still pink in the middle - six to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill. Serve at once, garnished with sprigs of rosemary.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a pinkish-red color. Avoid chops that are too fatty or have a lot of gristle.
  • Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, garlic, and salt and pepper will help to tenderize them and add flavor.
  • Grill the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness: Lamb chops are best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make them tough.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon and rosemary lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your lamb chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
